Early Wakarusa Barber's Photo Found
Descendants of Levi Grove came across these photos recently and shared them with the Tribune. The photo below shows Levi Grove sitting in a chair in front of his barbershop in Wakarusa.
The shop was located on the East side of North Elkhart Street. North of the Bank. While there is no sign, a striped Barber's Pole call be seen out in front of the shop.-
The family picture at left shows Levi & his wife Permilla in the front row, and in the back row their children (1-r) Leroy ("Tete"), Della, Hattie, and Charlie ("Charl'') Grove. The Picture is presumably taken at the side of the Barbershop tto have served as the family home.
Levi Grove was a Veteran of the Civil War, and first set up shop as a "Barber & Hairstylist" in Wakarusa in 1873. He passed away in 1902.
Thanks to Larry De Langhe for sharing these photos. He can be reached via e-mail at "ledel@kconline.com" for anyone who would like to have further information. or has information they would like to share concerning his ancestors.
